I do have icons on the desktop. But if I'd like to create a new
folder, I'd like to right-click the desktop and choose New->Folder.
The New option is not in the context menu.

I don't think that is correct. I've always had icons on the desktop,
and I've always had a New option in the context menu.

I did find that out in the archive. I was hoping that I could install
just the one I wanted. Oh well, no big deal. Thanks.
